yep... more of a gimmick than anything else, bit like the iceberg thing they did.

at the end of the day did it really push wakeboarding or will most people remember 'red bull'..??

sketchy landings mind

put it this way- they did something new and interesting on a wakeboard and it didn't just involve adding an extra 180 to a trick.
looks cool I reckon, Red Bull shouldn't have to be the only ones prepared to spend that kind of money. maybe the fact that they do will inspire others to do the same.
I'm waiting for the Monster take over bid- I wonder if they will see wakeboarding as "legit" enough tho....

Red Bull have defined a new standard.

Isn't it amazing how obvious it seems (now you've seen it) to put a normal skate park on water???
